Response
Please be advised that the data is provided in PDF as this is deemed the most secure format to avoid any possibility of `hidden data` being inadvertently shared.
However, it can be converted by the user into CSV or excel. There are guidelines how to do this available on the internet.
Please note that the numbers for the victim genders may not add up due to their being multiple victims/if the voyeurism occurred in a public place and not a single person was targeted.
For example, in a swimming pool changing rooms where images had been found on a device yet the actual victims were not identified.
We can only search back to April 2022 due to a change in our computer systems.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that this data has been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request may be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system. Consequently, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting the data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of data which has relevance to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data, we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
